Article Synopsis
- The study looked at health literacy (HL) in cancer patients aged 65 and older compared to those aged 18-64 in France.
- It found that older patients used digital tools less often and had lower HL scores than younger patients.
- The results suggest that it's really important for doctors to pay attention to health literacy so they can help patients understand their health better, especially those who may struggle with it.
Article Synopsis
- Recent findings show that over 80% of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms have a mutation, primarily JAK2 V617F, making the accurate assessment of these mutations important for diagnosis and monitoring.
- A new digital PCR technique has been developed to specifically measure CALR mutation levels, providing more precise and sensitive results compared to traditional methods.
- This digital PCR approach not only helps in initial patient evaluation but is also effective in monitoring minimal residual disease after treatments like stem cell transplants, potentially predicting relapses.
We performed a retrospective study to identify pretransplantation risk factors for steroid-refractory (SR) acute graft-versus host disease (aGVHD) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation from matched donors in 630 adult patients who underwent transplantation at our center between 2000 and 2012. The cumulative incidence (CI) of SR aGVHD was 11.3% ± 2.

We report the case of a 32-year-old female with PAN in which renal involvement was revealed by a secondary hyperaldosteronism. Hypokaliemia and arterial hypertension preceded rupture of renal artery aneurysm by several months.
